Redcoats gets OK for four nights of downtown entertainment

Mari Kennard finally won the approval of the Pleasanton City Council Tuesday to add Wednesday and Thursday nights to nighttime entertainment being offered at her Redcoats British Pub in downtown Pleasanton.

What ever Redcoats wants to do is fine with me. Because I will not eat there again. The food is not great, and the service is so bad. You know when a place is in trouble financial when they are trying to do anything they can to get business. We call that the Blue Light Special instead of the Blue Plate Special. Cheers.

I agree, this place isn't that great for food or drinks, but I want it to succeed because I want more places downtown to go to.

And it's tough to say that they're looking for more nights because they're hurting or if it's because they're doing well and want to add to it. Either way, granting them the extra nights is reasonable and any business owner would want the same courtesy if they opened up something downtown.

We enjoyed the patio over the summer and the food was OK. I hope people give the restaurant feedback so they have an opportunity to improve their menu. We definitely want restaurants with entertainment to succeed in our downtown!!! Thank you City Council for approving the music so we can have a vibrant and thriving downtown.
